ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

[Nos89]

So Ben White, the new Rob Holding looks to be joining us for £50m. I hope he doesn't get injured and stall his career like Holding did.
Still think Willock will be very useful to us this season. Bruce showed Arteta how to use him effectively. I hoped he would do well at Newcastle as I said when he moved, he finds himself in great goalscoring positions but at Arsenal didn't have his goalscoring boots on. I daren't say Newcastle is his level because they only finished 4 places below us, so effectively means that is our level.
Chambers is probably the most effective RB at the club and I'd give him an opportunity ahead of Cedric and Bellerin. We still need to shift a few of the established players who have managed to finish 8th two seasons in a row. Looks like a very unsettled start to season given we've got both the CL finalists in first 3 games. Hopefully, most of their team won't be back to full fitness because of their extended summer breaks due to going long into the Euros and Copa. Fortunately, only one of our players made a substantial impact.
I also think we are going to let a lot of good young talent leave the club this summer, which may come back and haunt us.

Holding cost about 4m….and plays like it. Until Arsenal stop playing average/below average Joes like Holding, Elneny, Chambers etc etc we are stuck in mid-table at best.

I think we'll be lucky to achieve that.

Agreed, would go further to suggest the squad quality is very poor, and sadly have no faith in the management team changing that

Next few seasons are going to be a struggle to watch

I’m hearing that this Lokonga fellow may be loaned out straight away a la Saliba. Are we fucking mental? We have not got a pot to piss in but want to spend our precious pennies on someone for the future. It is literally mental.

I remember now who it is you remind me of.... we had a bloke on here years ago called Roly Poly, claimed he was on the in at the club and when we called him out about it he then claimed to be a QC and threatened to sue the gooner for libel. The owner banned him, I didn't even get to do it!

You're not Roly Poly QC in disguise are you...?

haha roly... thats a blast from the past.

will you reveal why quartz left now??!!

He just grew to hate the place. He said there was too much hatred and pointless negativity just for the sake of negativity. It was like an arms race to see who could post the most hateful stuff about Wenger. And he was right. Not just Quartz but other top posters all left around that time. I blame myself and the other mods a bit. We should have fucked off some of the idiot newbies that came on and ruined the forum.

Not too much has changed since then.

But neither quite deserving of the lifetime achievement award that Red Member had sewn up.................until nasty old DB10 banned him

Imagine getting a ban just because you thought Denilson should be captain

Rumour has it that he sailed away on the superfan raft that Highbury JD built - made exclusively of materials sourced from Islington and with no room for anyone who didn't live within an inch of the town hall

I do miss some of those verbal scraps from back in the day

I mean..........even Sid and I seem to be getting on well these days

I believed you up till that point, because Sid doesn't "get on" with anyone.

Unless you were born on the halfway line at Highbury then you couldn't be a proper Arsenal fan according to HighburyJd

If you want proper old school you need to go back to MrGnu.

By the way MrGnu died recently.
